It's seems to me that this whole episode is a series of people overreacting to stuff due to their preconceived notions, racism, or whatever. The victim overreacted to a cop telling him to get out of the middle of the street, the cop overreacted to the victim's reluctance to do so, the community overreacted to the shooting by rioting, the cops overreacted by bringing in storm troopers to enforce the peace and the press overreacted by making national news out of a local shooting (when there were probably about 30-40 other fatal shootings that same day in the country).

Yep, couldn't have said it better. The talking heads at MSN went full commando 'first degree murder' last night, I switched over to Encore westerns and caught up on a few of Roddenberry's 'Have Gun-Will Travel' episodes. Odetta guest starred in one.
